Objective(s):

After this class, student should be able to:

1.1.5 Deduce the significance of the differences between two sets of data using calculated values for t and the appropriate tables
1.1.6 Explain that the existence of a correlation does not establish causal relationship between two variables


Lesson: t-values & Correlation


What are "t-values"
  • t-values are for determining differences between two "things:"
    • traits in two groups (men & women's heights)
    • or between to measurements of a group (Height after eating kimchi every day for one year and height after eating no kimchi at all for one year)introduce "normal distribution" and the bell curve; explain its significance
  • t-values fall on a distribution curve
